The cabin comments here are a reaction to the tension between classical lines of the canoe hull and modern corners shown on the pilot house. The smaller craft begs the question with its Classic lines intact hull and pilotshouse.

Great Rendering but no eye for aesthetics. Looks like some commercial fisherman
refit his cabin house in the driveway. Keep working on the look.
There is a fine line between proffessional work and student design.

jdavis, since I can't PM you, I'll have to say it here. I have over 20 years in the business, and while my houses have always come in for some criticism, I have never lost a design contract due to &quot;bad aesthetics&quot;.
I know it doesn't look like a Boston Whaler, and I thank my lucky stars for that every day.
But thanks for the comments anyway

Rick,
Practice, practice, practice. Start with a &quot;look&quot; you KNOW can be achieved, and figure out how - then try to improve it with lighting, etc. And enjoy it - that is the most important part
